Guide to Research Techniques in Neuroscience
About this book
Modern neuroscience research is inherently multidisciplinary, with a wide variety of cutting edge new techniques to explore multiple levels of investigation. This Third Edition of Guide to Research Techniques in Neuroscience provides a comprehensive overview of classical and cutting edge methods including their utility, limitations, and how data are presented in the literature. This book can be used as an introduction to neuroscience techniques for anyone new to the field or as a reference for any neuroscientist while reading papers or attending talks.- Nearly 200 updated full-color illustrations to clearly convey the theory and practice of neuroscience methods- Expands on techniques from previous editions and covers many new techniques including in vivo calcium imaging, fiber photometry, RNA-Seq, brain spheroids, CRISPR-Cas9 genome editing, and more- Clear, straightforward explanations of each technique for anyone new to the field- A broad scope of methods, from noninvasive brain imaging in human subjects, to electrophysiology in animal models, to recombinant DNA technology in test tubes, to transfection of neurons in cell culture- Detailed recommendations on where to find protocols and other resources for specific techniques- "Walk-through" boxes that guide readers through experiments step-by-step
